Olympic Revival: The Revival of the Olympic Games in Modern TimesBy Konstantinos Georgiadis

$55.00

Olympic Revival examines the reconstitution of the Olympic Games in the context of modern Greeceís emerging, and continually forming, political and cultural identity. Using original texts and sources from previously unexamined archives throughout Greece, Georgiadis shows how the reestablishment of the Olympic Games was in fact the result of various intellectual trends and developments in many countries and not simply the work of a single individual, Pierre de Coubertin.
